The LAPD has released videos of three deadly encounters with officers that occurred last week, as the agency faces growing questions about the circumstances and police tactics involved.
When Shameka Smith called Los Angeles police one afternoon last week to report her estranged husband had violated a restraining order by showing up at her apartment and grown violent, she mentioned several times that he hadn’t been taking his medication to treat schizophrenia.
At a news conference, Moore said he had “concern relative to the communications operator who took information from this victim ... as well as the actions of our officers and supervisors not acting on information regarding this individual’s prior mental health issues or current mental health issues.”“At no point during this call was our mental assessment team, also known as SMART, called to the scene to assist in this investigation over the course of the ordeal,” he told reporters.
“He’s acting crazy and he’s supposed to take medication because he has like a mental illness,” she said. “Full investigations are underway, and I pledge that the City’s investigations into these deaths will be transparent and will reflect the values of Los Angeles,” the statement said. “I will ensure that the City’s investigations will drive only toward truth and accountability. Furthermore, the officers involved must be placed on immediate leave.”
